Description / 0805 SMD UV / Purple - Ultra Bright LED
The 0805 UV Purple SMD LED (2.0 × 1.25mm, metric 2012) is the most hobbyist-friendly SMD size — large enough to comfortably hand-solder with a standard fine-tip iron, small enough to fit on any modern PCB layout. The sweet spot between easy handling and compact footprint. UV/Purple output creates blacklight effects — used in art, cosplay props, escape room builds, and decorative accent lighting.

The most hobbyist-friendly SMD size — large enough to hand-solder comfortably with a standard fine-tip iron.
Common uses:
- Mechanical keyboard backlight and per-key indicator repair — the most common indicator LED size in custom keyboard PCBs (r/MechanicalKeyboards)
- Gaming controller repair — Xbox, PlayStation, and Switch controller indicator LEDs
- Scale modeling and dioramas — excellent for HO and larger scale builds, cosplay wearable electronics, and prop lighting
- Arduino and maker projects — easiest SMD to hand-solder for custom indicator boards and project enclosures
- Automotive cluster repair — some newer vehicle instrument clusters use 0805 indicators alongside PLCC-2
Also available: 0603 (smaller) · 1206 (larger)
Sold individually (1 LED per quantity ordered).
